umm i dono why ud want a tutorial for make, unless ur a developer wanting to amke a makefile, but automake will do taht for you, .....

just to use make all you do is type "make" without the quotes, all it does is read a file called Makefile, and does what it says to do, each makefile has a list of comands that make will perform, usualy somthing like , all, test or check, and install, if you must type make then it will go to the defualt wich is usualy all

After using mostly GUI stuff when I first started and very slowly learning some command line Linux, I used the Linux from Scratch project to give me a good dunk in the sea of make and lots of others.
The short and unintelligible version can be found with 'man make'.
There are lots of short "just configure, make, make install" tutorials. (Actually always read the README file before compiling.)
